Install/Copy the SATA driver files into a directory on the IDE drive and
hook the blank SATA Drive to the system. Windows should give the "Found
New Hardware" wizard. Point it to the location where you've put the
SATA drivers and it will install them. That way the driver is installed
to the OS while still on the IDE. To make it your primary drive, Ghost
everything to the SATA, remove the IDE and upon boot, the OS will grab
the driver and off you go. If you want to use the SATA as a secondary
drive then just partition and format it using utilities included in
Windows. HTH.

Ah ... that makes sense! Now I get it.

Thanks, Rob
